Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion A conservationist wants to enhance survival of individual Daphnia populations in the metapopulation along the Scandinavian coast. To be successful, which action would this conservationist most likely carry out in these freshwater rock pools? a. Connecting vulnerable pools by making dispersal corridors to the ocean b.Separating the smallest pools from the largest to prevent immigration c.Removing the shortest-lived Daphnia species from all pools d.Separating pools so the Daphnia cannot mix with one another e.Connecting vulnerable pools by making dispersal corridors between them

Based on the data, what is the estimated carrying capacity for the population and what factor may have led to a change in data at day three? A. The estimated carrying capacity is approximately 188 thousand. The population may have decreased during day three because of increased pressure from a limiting factor, such as unfavorable temperature. B. The estimated carrying capacity is approximately 188 thousand. The population may have decreased during day three because of decreased pressure from limiting factors, such as more food being available. C. The estimated carrying capacity is approximately 167 thousand. The population may have decreased during day three because of increased pressure from a limiting factor such as reduction of food available. D. The estimated carrying capacity is approximately 167 thousand. The population may have decreased during day three because of decreased pressure from a limiting factor such as reduction of predators eating the…

Why were small-beaked medium ground finches (Geospiza fortis) most affected by the drought on Daphne major in 1976? A. Being small, they were less able to withstand the high temperatures during the drought B. The type of food that they eat, insects, was depleted C. Their beaks were too small to eat the remaining food, large nuts D. Their territory was taken by large-beaked medium ground finches
Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion A group of evolutionary biologists measure population structure in migratory birds and non migratory birds. In one species they estimate Fst as 0.71, and in the other they measure Fst as 0.05. Which species is the migratory species? A. the species with higher population structure B. The species low population structure C. Neither because migration would result in negative values D. You cannot tell because migration is dispersal not gene flow.
Which statement is a valid analysis about bison movement and the carrying capacity of Yellowstone National Park? A. The decrease in the northern herd's population is explained by its inability to migrate and the park's decreasing carrying capacity. B. The fact that bison only migrate in years of deep snow indicates that they have exceeded the park's carrying capacity. C. The carrying capacity for other animals found in Yellowstone has increased due to the bison's migration outside of the park. D. The movement of bison beyond park boundaries is not due to the bison population being too large for the park's carrying capacity. Part B: Which selection from the text provides evidence that directly supports this analysis? A. They move to lower elevation ranges during the winter months in response to snow accumulation and snowpack development. B. The model integrates data from several ecosystem-related variables,…
